2008 LVHIFF DIRTY HANDS: THE ART AND CRIMES OF DAVID CHOE
Documentary Feature Competition | Hawaii PREMIERE
DIRTY HANDS captures the journey of troubled young American artist, David Choe, through a lifetime of risk taking, crime plotting, his ongoing dance with vandalizing public property, and struggle to have a successful art career. After a series of arrests, he finally gets caught and thrown into solitary confinement prison in Tokyo for assault, battery and theft for what he feels is penance for a lifetime of crimes. In prison, he has the opportunity to reflect on a past riddled with disappointments and heartache he caused friends, family and his long-term girlfriend. Upon homecoming, he is filled with an overzealous hope to change for the better. We witness David's battle with demons, old temptations and his ever-growing appetite for destruction until he realizes he just has to face his own shadows and make sense out of the chaos he chooses to befriend time and time again.
